Breaking Barriers: How Our Proof of Concept Validated Automation for a Prominent Healthcare Company

For Medical Device Manufacturers, precision isn’t optional–it’s everything. A single inefficiency can lead to costly downtime, compliance delays, and production bottlenecks.

For one prominent healthcare company, they knew they needed high-speed automation, but they had one major concern: finding a partner who could meet their strict requirements.

The Challenges:

This leading medical device manufacturer needed a system that could:

  • minimize product handling to reduce contamination risk,

  • achieve ultra-fast cycle times for higher throughput,

  • reduce validation for faster compliance, and

  • fast deployment to accelerate time to market

They didn’t just need automation; they needed proven automation that would seamlessly integrate into their processes.

So, instead of just offering a solution, we proved it.

The Breakthrough: A Proven Solution in Action

Our Proof of Concept (PoC) wasn’t just theoretical—it delivered measurable results upfront:

  • Minimal Product Handling – We designed a custom robotic system with precision end-effectors, reducing manual intervention and ensuring delicate yet efficient product movement. By optimizing product flow and reducing robots from three to one, we minimized contact, a critical factor for the client, while also cutting costs.

  • High-Speed Automation – Our PoC achieved a pick-and-transfer rate of 350 parts per minute, surpassing expectations. This was enabled through a mix of AI vision, encoders, specialty grippers, and product flow redesign, validated using simulation software.

  • Accelerated Time to Market – Leveraging our modular U2R Chassis, designed with GMP and cleanroom standards, we enabled rapid deployment—reducing delivery time by 8 weeks.

  • Streamlined Validation – Our approach incorporated pre-validated components and automated data logging, cutting validation time by 40%. With GAMP 5- and FDA 21 CFR 11-compliant Secure PLC and HMI coding, along with a structured IQ, OQ, PQ checklist, we simplified and accelerated the FAT and SAT processes, allowing the customer to market their product faster.

The Result: Trust Earned

By proving our solution before commitment, we removed uncertainty, built confidence, and won the project. Today, our client operates a fully automated, high-speed production line—exceeding their initial expectations.
